Plans are underway to bring new construction of 25 affordable townhomes to Dunedin’s workforce. Priced from $130,000 to $160,000 this is a much needed effort for the city’s workers such as city employees and hospital staff. Ground breaking begins early 2008 near the Martin Luther King Jr. Recreational Center. While homeowners must meet certain income requirements to be eligible, the city is confident that many nearby workers will finally be able to buy Dunedin homes in the city where they actually work.

Afforable new construction is just about extinct in Pinellas County since much of the area is built out. Many developers try to squeeze every penny out of vacant land, building big, expensive homes. This leaves out a major percentage of the work force in Dunedin. The Dunedin Housing Authority is donating the land which is 2.5 acres so that this can be possible. Those involved hope that this venture will respresent a model for communities in other parts of the state of Florida.

Actor C.J. Sanders who played a young Ray Charles in the Academy Award-winning movie Ray will be the star of the TV pilot project being shot in Tarpon Springs. It’s a potential TV series about a group of kids who unravel mysteries and run their own newspaper called the Kid Edition. The filming takes place in December 2007. There’s no guarantee that show will continue to shoot in Tarpon Springs if it’s picked up, but city officials welcome the exposure nonetheless.

Other movies have been shot in Tarpon Springs over the years, they are: John Travolta’s movie The Punisher in 2004, 16 Fathoms Deep in 1948, Three Witnesses in 2001, Beneath the 12-Mile Reef in 1985 and To Kill a Lawyer in 1999. One movie took advantage of the subdivision Savannah Point between Lake Tarpon and Keystone Road because it looked a bit like a neighborhood in Cleveland, Ohio. Savannah Point is known for it’s rolling hills, tall trees, and two story northern looking homes. Savannah Point is a very unique subdivision in Tarpon Springs. there are many others as well, visit our Tarpon Springs Homes website.
